i use this exact mechanism and it works well. the only difference between
my code and yours (that i can see, for the most part) is the call to
emitter.addNotificationListener(receiver, filter, bean);
in my case filter is also null but the hand-back is the bean itself (so it
could be written as emitter.addNotificationListener(receiver, filter,
emitter);)
and thus my handler is written:
private static void onGcEvent(Notification ignore, NotificationEmitter
bean) {
final GarbageCollectorMXBean gcBean = (GarbageCollectorMXBean) bean;
final String beanName = gcBean.getName().replaceAll(" ", "_");
final GcInfo lastGcInfo = gcBean.getLastGcInfo();
...
note, technically i use lambdas and there's other framework code but this
should be the important parts.
